Abstract

The advent of social networking websites for use in health care has prompted concerns about the risks that such systems pose to the security and privacy of personal health information. In this paper, we survey the research literature, in order to provide a current snapshot of privacy and security safeguards for social network websites. We describe some of the unique features of the health care space, and recommend directions for future research in this relatively new area.
